Cultural Appropriation Does NOT Just Apply To Native Americans

golden-zephyr:

.. and I’d really like all you white people who keep telling me IT DOES, to quit.

Stop wearing gypsy fortune teller costumes for Halloween.

Stop tagging feather earrings as gypsy.

Stop “wanting to live like a gypsy”.

Stop thinking we all tell fortunes, have magik sex appeal, and steal babies.

Stop getting those weird and rather sick “gypsy head” tattoos.

In fact, just stop using the word “gypsy” at all.

kthnx bai.

I actually hate it when people use the word “gypsy” in that way. Real gypsies don’t even do any of that. Get educated you idiots. I wrote a term paper on this subject and it’s very dear to my heart.
